Hey everyone,
I have kept FOWLR tanks for years and decided to finally try corals. I picked several up at my local shop, and noticed one very bleached looking coral and decided to try to revive it. The manager said it was a Kenyan Tree that was not doing well, but I’m not too sure about that. Any help identifying would be much appreciated! Thank you

Siinularia or nepthia bit likely nepthia.
It is very closed up as it requires:
Medium water flow
moderate light
a trace or iron and iodine in the water

Blow gently with a turket baster to release any algae on it and direct flow TOWARDS, not at it and it should open up
 
Looks like Green Sinularia
Thank you for your reply! I’m hoping with proper lighting, flow, and the nutrients from the phyto dosing that it will make a recovery. It was a pale brown when I got it yesterday, and already seeing some color change
